IMO I disagree with that assessment. I'd say the majority of most player bases is the players in the middle range. And it's those players in the middle range that end up being the ones that have to suffer from the noisy, obnoxious, whiny, entitled, easy mode players that are being labeled casual when the actual casual players are the ones in the middle range that enjoy challenging and engaging content that isn't tuned to push skill proficiencies or limits but doesn't just hand everything to you like it's candy on Halloween.
